Every week, we sift through new listings to find you the best of Boulder real estate. We also discuss notable sales and worthy price reductions. This week: An eye popping trophy home that was only available for one day, a triplex masquerading as a historic single family home, and dueling downtown Boulder condos priced $255K apart. If you’re shopping for real estate in Boulder, here’s what’s worth seeing. Remember: To schedule a private showing, which includes a discussion of valuation and price trends, call Osman at 303.746.6896.Sold Listings of Note19 Arrowleaf Court | $5,400,000 | More DetailsAn unobstructed, spectacular view high over the city and an estate quality home built to luxurious standards made for a quick and easy sale. In some cases, a turn key home can be a bargain compared to fresh build, assuming you could even find a similar quality lot. Deal points: $5.4MM (4.4% negotiated discount from asking), 1 day on market before the offer. 385 Broadway Street | $1,600,000 | More DetailsWord to the wise, don’t fight the planning board and don’t fight the neighborhood. After several attempts at rezoning to redevelop, the owner gave up and listed the property. It went under contract three times before finding a buyer at $1.6MM (8.6% negotiated discount from asking). 232 days on market before the offer.

930 Lincoln Place | $1,564,500 | More DetailsThis beautiful historic home is in one of my favorite Boulder neighborhoods. Nice updates while retaining its design integrity and historic detail. Bonus: As a legal triplex, the additional living spaces could be used for live-in help, cash flow, or adapted for family use. Smart.

Price reduced $100K from original asking. Excellent location. Historic charm. Sadly, no garage. Fresh ListingsBOULDER

542 Arapahoe Avenue | $1,850,000 | More DetailsBeautiful historic home with plenty of space on the main level for most buyers. Exceptional walkability to downtown, trails, and parks. Large lot. Carport for parking with a studio in the back. Due diligence: Studio is likely not a legal rental unit and this location does get some transient activity. 2141 Jonathan Place | $900,000 | More Details80’s construction and mostly 80’s finishes. Decent size house on a cul-de-sac with a steadily improving nearby retail mix. A value given the size. HOA includes community pool, clubhouse, courts, park.

1031 Portland Place 10 | $730,000 | More DetailsThese two townhomes should be viewed back to back to understand the value you get for the extra $255K. I’ve seen several units in this building over the years, build quality is not impressive and there is little curb appeal for some units, but the location offers great walkability to downtown. #7 will likely have a bidding war. #10, probably not. 805 Orman Drive | $635,000 | More DetailsAnother mid-60’s bi-level, this time in Park East. At some point, it looks like the owner converted the garage into an additional bedroom. Currently rented at $2,845 through May 2017. Due diligence: Check for open permits, limited expansion potential, and road noise. 2227 Canyon Boulevard 204A | $350,000 | More DetailsListed without any photos, but we’ve written about Shady Creek before. It’s a decent location in an old school style building, somewhat overbuilt. HOA includes heating and cooling. Lock and leave, great for graduate students or professionals. Put down 20% and get a roommate, it’s smarter than renting.

Should sell quickly.

LONGMONT 837 Tenacity Drive | $715,000 | More DetailsProspect has really come into its own over the years. Landscaping has matured, the retail mix is enough for occasional dining, and the family friendly vibe is hard to beat (food truck nights and other neighborhood events). This one has a carriage house with potential rental income to offset your purchase price.
